A museum dedicated to artificial intelligence-driven art will open in downtown Los Angeles this summer, with officials calling it the world\u2019s first institution focused entirely on AI-generated works and immersive digital experiences, it was announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The museum, DATALAND, is set to open June 20 at The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed complex in the city\u2019s Grand Avenue Cultural District.<\/p>\n
The facility will feature five galleries spanning roughly 25,000 square feet and aims to merge human creativity with machine intelligence through immersive, data-driven works, officials said.<\/p>\n
Its inaugural exhibition, \u201cMachine Dreams: Rainforest,\u201d will run through Jan. 31 and explore the relationship between artificial intelligence and the natural world.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a journey of many years, we are so excited to finally share DATALAND with the public,\u201d co-founder Refik Anadol said in a statement. \u201cLA is the center of creativity. It is a city that defines the future of art, music, cinema, architecture, and more, and we can\u2019t wait to open DATALAND\u2019s flagship location in our adopted home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Co-founder Efsun Erkilic said the project is intended to bring together multiple disciplines in a new kind of cultural space.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith DATALAND, we are opening a space that brings together artists, scientists, and pioneers, and we invite the public to experience storytelling in a completely new way,\u201d Erkilic said.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the exhibition uses artificial intelligence trained on vast ecological datasets to create evolving visual and sensory experiences in real time.<\/p>\n
The museum will also offer memberships that include early access ahead of the public opening, along with ongoing entry and digital programming tied to the exhibitions.<\/p>\n
DATALAND joins a cluster of major cultural institutions along Grand Avenue, including The Broad, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Museum of Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n
